The rising prevalence of conditions such as cancer and other pain related diseases is expected to support global meperidine (Demerol) market growth during the forecast period.
In many disease cases, there is no cure for chronic pain, therefore physicians prefer pharmacological methods to treat the pain and decrease the suffering. The patients suffering from intractable chronic pain, which cannot be managed with conventional treatment methods may require opioid drug therapy, especially for chronic diseases such as cancer. The pain does not stop after the treatment in cancer, and to get relief from this continuous and long lasting pain, patients prefer to use opioid drugs such as meperidine. Thus, the increasing prevalence of diseases such as cancer is expected to support the global meperidine (Demerol) market growth during the forecast period. According to the World Health Organization’s 2018 report, cancer was the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and was responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. According to the same source, globally, around 1 in 6 deaths occur due to cancer annually.
